See England in Barbados

If you’re a cricket fan, here’s the chance to see England in Barbados.

The national team’s Test side will be visiting the Caribbean in April and May for a three-Test tour, with the final Test taking place at Barbados’ Kensington Oval stadium between May 1 and 5.

The stadium has hosted cricket legends including the island’s national cricket hero Sir Garfield Sobers and was the first West Indian ground to host an English touring team, back in 1895.

Those joining the team on the island can enjoy accommodation close to the stadium, with Crystal Cove and Turtle Beach by Elegant Hotels conveniently located less than 20 minutes from the Kensington Oval. Tickets will be on sale at http://www.ecb.co.uk/tickets/follow-england-overseas/.
